Dodgyoldfart. ''So potentially four aircraft could have been ready to go in about 4 to 5 minutes. This is all conjecture mind but aircraft were certainly left armed over night in RAF Germany''
I am not doubting or gainsaying the overnight loading of gunpacks. The point that I was trying to make was that such preloaded gunpacks were only loaded with ball, not HE, and that I would have thought this alleged use of a Chivenor a/c would have required HE ammo.
